Chapter 175
Savanna looked at Brandon, silent for a long time.
A moment later, she had a lump in her throat, âBrandon, he lost his mother at such a young age, and you treat him like this. You are really cruel.â
Brandonâs eyelids twitched, and his Adamâs apple rolled. âHe ⦠was spoiled by my mother. And Kadyn took him out every day to waste time. Savanna. If I wasnât strict with him, he would go astray.â
Savanna said, âDonât vent all your regrets on him. He doesnât understand anything.â
Savanna knew that doting on the child was wrong, but that was her son. She had been absent from his childhood, and she felt so guilty towards him.
Brandon saw her sadness and comforted her softly, âHe is living quite well. Other than the fact that he does not have a mother, he has everything. He is much happier than ordinary children. So, Savanna, you do not have to feel guilty.â
But she couldnât help it.
Especially when Savanna saw all the toys in the room, she was shocked to realize that she had missed the most precious time of her childâs growth, and this would become her lifelong regret and pain.
âIf you feel that you owe him, then come back.â Brandon couldnât help but speak from the bottom of his heart.
Savanna restrained her emotions and her expression became indifferent. âYou know that between usâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a clear childâs voice.
âSavanna, the Honey Mustard Chicken is here.â
Mandel ran in with a plate.
He picked up a piece and brought it to Savannaâs mouth. Savanna was originally not going to eat it, but she could not resist his repeated requests. Savanna could only open her mouth and bit the chicken. The chicken smelt marvelous and tasted very good. Savanna looked at Mandelâs sweet smile and the tears in her eyes were about to fall. She turned her face and quietly wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes.
Brandon looked at her in a daze. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Mandel ignored his father and continued to eat the chicken, occasionally speaking to Savanna.
After an afternoon of intimate interaction, it was soon time for dinner. Mandel pulled Savanna to have dinner. After dinner, Mandel insisted on going for a walk with Savanna in the yard to digest the food. It was eight oâclock in the evening Mandel took a shower and lay on the bed. He wanted Savanna to tell him a story. Savanna had no choice but to take the storybook and tell the story in the storybook. âOne day, the little girl with a red hat went out to find food and met a woliâ¦â
Savannaâs voice was soll and pleasant to hear. Brandon came in his pajamas. His face was clean. He had probably just taken a shower. The tip of his hair was still dripping with water, and his pajama collar was wet, revealing his sexy collarbone Brandon dried his wet hair, took a book from the bookcase, and lay on Mandelâs left. On Mandelâs right lay Savanna.
Mandel noticed his fatherâs strange behavior today, but he didnât ask much. He shifted his body towards Savanna. Brandon didnât think inuch of it but smiled happily. Savannaâs voice sounded in the room.
Hearing the sound of even breathing, Savanna stopped and turned around. She saw Mandelâs sleeping face. It was fair,
tender, and red.
Savanna put down the book in her hand, got up from the bed, Lucked Mandel in, and got out of bed.
Just as she walked out of the room, footsteps came from behind her.
Savanna ignored that and went downstairs. She walked out of the villa and Brandon caught up with her.
âSavanna, itâs too late. Iâll drive you back.â
âNo need.â
Savanna refused and left the villa without looking back.
Brandon walked to the garage and started the car. The car quickly caught up with Savanna and stopped beside
Savanna.
The honking continued, but Savanna did not turn around. Brandon stepped on the brake and followed Savanna slowly.
âGet in, Savanna. Itâs so late. I donât feel at ease if you leave alone.â
Brandonâs voice was very soft.
Savanna looked around and saw a few young people with dyed hair not far away. They were staring at her with ill intentions. Thinking of the terrible incident that happened in Ireland, Savanna opened the car door and got in.
Brandon looked straight ahead and drove the car with a focused expression. He stopped frowning.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of the hotel. Savanna thanked him and wanted to get out of the car.
Brandon grabbed Savannaâs hand when she was about to open the door. The heat in his palm penetrated Savannaâs skin and slowly flowed into her heart. It was as if an electric current had passed through her body. Savanna was slightly startled. She looked up at the manâs deep black eyes.
After looking at each other for a long time, no one spoke. The atmosphere in the car was tense and a little strange.
âLucas married you in an agreement, right?â
Brandon had wanted to ask this question a long time ago. The reason why he had held it in until now was that he did not want to break the harmonious atmosphere of the family of three.
âYes.â Savanna didnât intend to hide it. Since Brandon knew, she admitted it openly.
Savanna didnât know how much of a shock and excitement her words brought to Brandon.
âMandel likes you very much. You have been away from him for a long time. If you want him to accept you, you have to develop feelings with him. Why donât you go and pack your luggage? We will go back.â
Brandon seemed to be afraid that she would misunderstand and quickly added, âYou sleep with him tonight. I will not disturb you.â
Savanna understood that Brandon was using the child to lure her. However, Savanna was still a little tempted. That was her child. She didnât want to be separated from him.
Alter two seconds of silence, she said, âNo need.â
âSavanna.â
Seeing that she was about to get out of the car, Brandon tightened his grip on her hand. Seeing Savanna frown, Brandon loosened a little at a loss. In the end, he was unwilling to let her leave just like that. He grabbed her hand again. âI know you donât love me anymore, but Mandel does need your care. My mom is too old to take care of himâ¦â

Brandon felt that he was very pathetic. In order to get Savanna back, he had to find a lot of reasons.
Savanna managed to be cool and suggested, âYou can find Debbie or Mary. I have Maryâs number.â
Hearing Savanna mention Mary, Brandon asked, âHave you met Mary?â
Savanna nodded. âYes, I met her yesterday.â
Suddenly, something occurred to Brandon. Brandon was so excited that his cheeks turned red. âBack then, I didnât mean to fire her. Itâs reallyâ¦
⢠âShe wants to steal you, so, â¦â
Savanna did not understand Brandonâs words and seemed to be uninterested in his words.
She took a deep breath and said, âMary is a maid of our family. We have let her down.â
âSorry.â
Brandonâs voice was hoarse and apologetic.
âYou donât have to apologize to me. You have no responsibility for her.
âBrandon, weâre down.â
She thought, even if your hair turned white because of me, even if you have picked up my corpse and were reluctant ! bury it, the bygones are bygones.
Savanna did not want to go back
It was a hard time for Savanna to love Brandon.
